Tessa's Story...

Tessa's Story...

Hey y’all!!! I’m Tessa and I am from Tennessee. I came in to the shelter as a stray and no one came to look for me. BUT, now I am with a foster mom and we get along great! She has other dogs and they are great (she has a bunch of them and my math is not great but I think there are 4 – but others come visit so I get confused). I like them all and they don’t seem to mind me too much. I get excited because, well, I am a puppy and they get grumpy but I just walk away. I am about 12 weeks old (again that math stuff throws me). I am working on something that my foster mom calls “peepee poop”. I don’t know what it is but she takes me outside and says “peepee poop” and I roam around until I feel better and she says “GOOD GIRL” and we go back inside. She’s kind of weird.I sleep with my foster mom and my foster dad. I really like to sleep. I go to bed with my foster mom and then my foster dad wakes me up around 5:00 when he gets up for some place called “work” and he does the whole “peepee poop” scenario and I get back in bed. I enjoy toys. I really love bones!!! Bones are the bomb! I try to grab a sock every now and then but they get taken away. I’m a really good girl. I LOVE being loved and I love being near people or in a lap. I don’t know what “breed” I am. The vet says a mixed up one so I’ll go with that. Right now I weigh about 6 pounds now (I look bigger in pictures!). I don’t plan on getting too big because I want to always be a good lap sitting size. Tessa has been Spayed and she is up to date on all of her vaccinations. She is heartworm negative and currently on a heart worm and flea preventative.

About Our Rescue Group...

Pooches & Purrs Cooperative is a group of rescues and individual rescuers that are working hard to find loving homes for the dogs, cats, kittens and puppies that find their way into our care through no fault of their own. Each individual or group has several wonderful dogs In Tennessee, Alabama or Kentucky looking for homes! All of them are completely vetted and neutered/spayed (if age appropriate) and on heartworm protection. All of them come with complete medical records. Their adoption fee of $500 covers their complete age appropriate vetting and heartworm preventative as well as their transportation to your area. Our rescues don't have an actual shelter building in the D.C. area. Due to this it is not always possible to meet them prior to their adoption. At times, a dog may be in foster care in New England and their bio will clearly be marked as such so you will know. These southern dogs & cats are brought up to their new owners weekly! We have a 14 day money back guarantee and the pet can be rehomed appropriately if things don't work out. Each group tries hard to get good matches in your homes so that everyone has a happy life together! To date the cooperative has placed over a two thousand dogs and puppies, cats and kittens in loving New England homes! Each group has many, many, references of happy adopters up in your area that can fill you in on their experience. Just email and they can pass along that information for your convenience. Thanks!
